Football Manager 2013 for PC and Mac will include a new Classic mode.

Classic mode - nicknamed FMC - is a streamlined, less time-consuming version of Football Manager, allowing players a simplified management experience.

An entire season can be completed in Classic mode in around eight-10 hours.

Sports Interactive boss, Miles Jacobson, said: "The introduction of FMC is a major step forward in Football Manager's evolution.

"In recent years it's become clear that there's a large group of people who would like to play Football Manager, but simply can't devote the time required to get the most out of the game - in fact, now that they have families and other commitments, even some members of the SI team have found themselves in this position.

"We decided, therefore, to try to find a way to accommodate players with limited free time, without significantly diluting the experience. We believe that FMC achieves this beautifully."

Players will be given the choice of playing Classic mode as an open-ended career or as a limited-time goal-driven challenge.

Five challenges will be available straight away with more being offered throughout the year depending on the level of demand from players.

Jacobson claimed that Classic mode would not impact on the full version of the game.

He added: "I would, however, like to stress to our many, many fans around the world that the introduction of FMC will not impact in any way on the game that they've come to know and love.

"For those who still want the full, 'hands-on' experience, FM13 offers exactly what they're looking for."

Other new features for Football Manager 2013 include an improved 3D match engine, new staff roles, improved media interaction, online games and global leaderboards, enhanced training and even realistic tax regimes.
